Look, my parents are not relatives. If they have money, they should respect others.
What's the use of three years of breastfeeding? You have to divide it when you marry a daughter-in-law.
If my wife eats good wine and good meat, she won't be afraid of my mother and father being hungry and breaking their bones.
If you never saw a bowl of rice during your lifetime, who will visit your grave after you die?
Lotus falls, lotus falls.
"
The little beggar humming the tune of "Lotus Blossoms Falling" and begging on the street is named A Yuan. He is dressed in patched clothes. He is holding a stick in one hand and a bowl with a gap in the other. His skin looks darker than others, but his face is tidy.
He is clean and has two cloth bags tied to his body. He is the second-bag disciple of the Beggar Clan.
Although most of the "Lotus Blossoms Falling" tune he sang was just a joke, it contained an internal breathing technique, which was an introductory martial art used by Beggar Clan disciples to hone their physiques.
For example, if he wants to play a little more, he will carry an Allegro or something like that with him. A Yuan doesn't know how to do that, so he just hums casually.
However, despite the bowl in his hand, he does not make a living by begging on weekdays. Although he occasionally goes to familiar Jianghu people's inns and restaurants to have some food, his main source of living is still by gathering information for others.
This is also the way most of the low-level Beggar Clan disciples make a living. Relying on the support of a large number of fellow disciples, there are basically Beggar Clan disciples wherever there are people. They are also familiar with selling information, ranging from disputes in the Five Mountains to chaos between good and evil.
Go next door and find out whose daughter-in-law Lao Wang has stolen. Basically, they can find out for you if you need it.
Disciples of the Beggar Clan can be regarded as the sect with the strongest intelligence capabilities in the world. Many sects even use the Beggar Clan to inquire about information. They are both members of the righteous path, and have figures like Liang Benlang and Yan Fengyun as guarantors.
The gang's reputation spreads well among people in the world.
A Yuan has been in the gang for three years. He started as a no-bag disciple and averaged one bag a year. Now he is a two-bag disciple and is quite famous in the streets.
The weather has entered summer, and the sun is rising at the moment. A Yuan hid under the eaves of a house, took out a rag from his bag and spread it under his buttocks. He fanned the wind with his hands and cursed in a low voice that the thief had come out again.
The sun was beating down on him.
Just as he was complaining, he suddenly saw someone standing in front of him. A Yuan looked up and saw that the person was dressed in brocade clothes and looked like a wealthy person. His little eyes immediately lit up.
"Master, what are your orders?" A Yuan's voice was somewhat flattering, and he even smiled.
The young master of Jinyiwei in front of A Yuan was none other than Lu Hanjiang. He lowered his head and said with a smile, "Are you a disciple of the Beggar Clan?"
"Huh? Could it be that the young master is also a member of the world?" A Yuan stood up and looked at Lu Hanjiang with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Lu Hanjiang made a fist and said, "Nice to meet you, I'll be at Lu Qi Qi."
"I am A Yuan, the second disciple of the Beggar Clan." A Yuan patted the two cloth bags on his body with some pride. His expression was less formal and more friendly.
After exchanging names, Lu Hanjiang asked again: "Brother Ayuan, can you tell me which elder of the Beggar Clan is in charge of this place?"
"Young Master, why do you ask?" A Yuan looked at him strangely, but did not raise any suspicion. He paused and replied, "This place is under the jurisdiction of Elder Liu."
As he spoke, Lu Hanjiang took off the gourd from his waist and handed it to him. At the same time, he said, "I want to ask my brother to hand over this thing to me."
A Yuan held the wine gourd and was a little puzzled: "Could it be that the young master is a friend of Elder Liu?"
Lu Hanjiang pretended to be mysterious and said: "You will know when the time comes. Please tell Elder Liu that if you are free, I will come to the Wanfu Inn in the city in three days to talk."
A Yuan lowered his head and played with the wine gourd. He was a little confused and wanted to ask something more. When he raised his head, he couldn't find Lu Hanjiang's voice. He scratched his head, then packed up his things and went to the Chenghuang Temple outside the city.
This is the boundary of Jiangnan, and Bluestone City is a big city. The elder Liu of the Beggar Clan who is responsible for managing this place is the young elder of the Beggar Clan, Ba Bao, with profound qualifications and high moral standing.
Beggar Clan disciples have no bags when they first join the gang. The more bags there are, the higher the status. Eight bags is a watershed. Anyone up to and including seven bags can only be counted as a disciple, while eight bags are called little elders.
As for the highest nine bags, it is the position of the elder. There are eight people. Together with the two elders who teach, enforce, and enforce the law, there are ten elders in total, and the deputy gang leader assists the left gang leader.
By the way, there should have been eight elders in Jiubao. However, Elder Quan unfortunately died of serious illness in Miao territory not long ago. This left a seat vacant. The young elders in Babao all wanted to compete for it. Originally, this was just a beggar’s seat.
It was an internal matter of the Beggar Clan, but neither the Beggar Clan nor the deputy leader who could make the final decision on the matter were present. As time went on, all sorts of troubles arose.
It has been many years since Elder Liu was promoted to junior elder, but instead of subsiding, the urge in his heart has greatly increased. These days, he has been constantly inquiring about the gang leader's whereabouts, just to mention the matter of being promoted to elder.
So when I wanted to sleep, I brought a pillow. It was a very hot day, and Elder Liu was also taking shelter from the sun in the Chenghuang Temple. Suddenly, he saw A Yuan walking in carrying the gourd.
Originally, this mere disciple of Erbao could only come into contact with five or six disciples on the line. However, the branch of the Beggar Clan happened to be located in Qingshi City, so as a native disciple, it was not easy for him, a native disciple, to meet the young elder.
impossible.
"A Yuan, disciple of Erbao, has met Elder Liu." A Yuan entered the Chenghuang Temple and carefully stepped forward to greet Elder Liu. This young elder is also an elder, but generally speaking, if it is not a very important occasion, everyone will have a tacit understanding.
I omitted the word "小" when addressing him, just to save my face.
"What do you want from this elder?"
Elder Liu was leaning on the altar table. His status was much higher than that of A Yuan, and he was at least twice as old as A Yuan. This attitude was reasonable and reasonable.
"Reporting to the elder, a young master asked his disciple to hand over this gourd to you." A Yuan took out the gourd honestly and told the story about Lu Hanjiang's meeting with Elder Liu at the Wanfu Inn.
Originally, Elder Liu was resting there with his eyes squinted and did not see clearly what kind of gourd A Yuan was carrying. He was not surprised by this. In the past, disciples who had received good things like this would come to offer treasures, or to ask for familiarity, or
It was just a matter of popularity, he didn't take it to heart at all.
But when he took the gourd and took a closer look, his reaction of jumping three feet high almost scared A Yuan out of his soul.
"Where did you come from with this thing!" Elder Liu blushed and stared, grabbing A Yuan's arm and refusing to let go.
The other disciples in the Chenghuang Temple were also alarmed and gathered around them. A Yuan was so frightened that he could only stumble and say: "Liu, Elder Liu, the disciple just said, I said, Mr. Lu invites you to come here in three days."
, Let’s talk at Wanfu Inn.”
"Wanfu Inn, surnamed Lu"
Elder Liu stared at the gourd in his hand. As a young elder with eight bags, he naturally recognized that this gourd was what Liang Benlang carried with him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a token of the gang leader.
Now a mysterious Mr. Lu appears with it. Could it be that the gang leader has some orders?
Elder Liu looked at the gourd in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and decided not to act rashly. He just followed what the other party said and would see you again in three days.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Elder Liu received news from Wudang that the new leader of the Beggar Clan, Lu Shiqi, appeared in Wudang Mountain and ordered the two thousand members of Jin Yiwei to retreat.
As soon as the news came out, he was confused. Elder Liu could no longer sit still. While sending a letter to the disciples from all directions, he immediately took his people to Wanfu Inn.
